Hey. You know the bricksaic interface is also a really nice fit for
a program to reproduce patterned bricks in ldraw. I gave it a whirl
posterizing the only pattern I had a scan of and it did a fairly nice
job.

You could use a few paint options to touch up the spotty pixels in
the lego colored image. I imagine that’d be handy for mosaics as
well.
Then all you need is a button that runs the image thru autotrace,
followed by Rosco’s text2dat code (hacked up just a bit to handle
autotrace output instead of freetype data). The results might just
be good enough to pass the ldraw.org standards.
Whatcha all think?

Happy to investigate autotrace input, if someone can point me to a spec, or even
better some code to parse it ;)
Some test data would be useful too...
